You won’t miss this Windows 10 update notification

Windows Update

Microsoft has stepped up its notifications to Windows 7 and 8.1 users who are yet to update their operating system to Windows 10.

As reported by The Guardian, the company has started showing users full-screen notifications – notifying them that the Windows 10 free upgrade expires on 29 July 2016.

The “Sorry to interrupt” notification – shown below – takes over the whole screen and forces users to select either to upgrade at once or to be reminded later, according to the report.

The “remind me later” option causes the pop-up to show every three days until Windows 10 is installed.

“Two less-prominent options will allow the user to select to be notified three more times in total or never to be notified again,” stated the report.

The full-screen notification follows criticism from Windows users about being “tricked” into installing Windows 10.
